How can Aanand make my film’s sequel without my consent?

History seems to be repeating itself with Tanu Weds Manu. After the original, the film’s sequel is also running into legal troubles. However, unlike the 2011 movie, which was disputed among its co-producers,
Tanu Weds Manu 2 has got embroiled in a legal tangle between director Aanand L Rai and the producers, after Rai announced the project. Producer Vinod Bachchan, who had gone to court over the sale of rights of the first movie — he now holds 51% share after the settlement — is preparing to send a notice to Rai. Meanwhile, Sanjay Singh, who holds 24.5% share via his agreement with co-producer Shailesh Singh (who holds 24.5% share), sent a notice (of which
Bombay Times has a copy) to Rai on Tuesday.

Says Bachchan, “Aanand is just the director. Tanu Weds Manu is my property. How can he make my film’s sequel without my consent?”

Sanjay adds, “Aanand is aware of my contract with Shailesh. He knows we are equal owners of the IPR of Tanu Weds Manu. Four months ago, he had tried to negotiate with me, but it was inconclusive. How can he talk about a sequel? I’ve sent a notice to him.”

After several calls and text messages, Rai finally sent us an SMS saying he was “in a narration”. He didn’t clarify his side till the time of going to press.
